dimissioni volontarie per maternità

It also applies to fathers if they take paternity leave, which I found out to my cost after having been discouraged in all ways by my employer from taking leave, and then resigned before my daughter was one. Had I taken even one day of oarental leave I could have resigned without notice and been paid by my employer for the notice period! A fantastic piece of legislation, but unfortunately one very few are aware of.

I can comfirm this. I resigned voluntarily after my second child at the end of the one year maternity leave. To ensure that I had not resigned under duress, I was called for interview by the Provincial labour office and had to sign a statement to this effect.

Hi Adele, this rule applies if the mother does not want to return to work after the end of maternity leave, which can last much longer than three months if all entitlements are taken advantage of. Obviously it is pointless resigning whilst maternity leave is ongoing, so this rule applies after it has ended.

It is, indeed, resignation - not leave. Thanks to all!
